Newly recorded in New Brunswick ( Figure 7 View FIGURE 7 ). In Nova Scotia intercepted in association with Palearctic alfalfa leafcutter bees ( Megachile rotundata (Fabricius)) ( Hymenoptera : Megachilidae ) imported from Saskatchewan. Trichodes nutalli does not appear to be established in Nova Scotia. Adults of Trichodes are often found on a variety of flowers where they feed, mate, and oviposit; the larvae are predators in nests of bees and wasps ( Knull 1951, Opitz 2002).
